BLACK SWAN - Paralyzed (Blue Vinyl)

BLACK SWAN Return with Third Album “Paralyzed” — A Masterclass in Melodic Hard Rock
Robin McAuley (McAuley Schenker Group), Reb Beach (Winger, Whitesnake), Jeff Pilson
(Foreigner, The End Machine, ex-Dokken), and Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, Mr. Big) —
collectively known as BLACK SWAN — are back with their explosive third album, Paralyzed.
Following the critical acclaim of their previous releases, the supergroup once again delivers
a powerful statement in modern hard rock.
With all songs written and composed by McAuley, Pilson, and Beach, and expertly produced
by Pilson, Paralyzed showcases Black Swan at their peak performance — offering a dynamic
mix of towering vocals, razor-sharp riffs, and hook-laden melodies. The band’s chemistry
continues to shine, elevating their songwriting and musical delivery to new heights.
Tracked at Pilson’s Los Angeles studio, the album reflects the tight-knit synergy among its
members. McAuley’s commanding vocals remain as ageless, while the instrumentalists
deliver with precision and fire. Much like its predecessors, the new record is a testament to
the individual and collective talents of these seasoned musicians.
Far from being a patchwork of their previous bands, BLACK SWAN has firmly carved out its
own identity. Paralyzed is fresh, heavy, and melodically rich — a cohesive and compelling
album that feels both classic and contemporary.
Building upon the blueprint laid by their debut, Shake the World, the band expands their
sonic universe.
The result is a record that not only meets but surpasses expectations, cementing BLACK
SWAN as a formidable force in the modern hard rock scene.
Whether you’ve followed these legendary musicians since the heyday of '80s rock or you’re
just now discovering their magic, Paralyzed is essential listening — a masterclass in melodic
hard rock delivered by artists who continue to defy time and expectations.
